I run Gerald (1/2 ton F150) with 50-60PSI (I'm lazy, so it's never accurately one number) in his LT235/75R15 tires... I notice a harsher ride, but hell, HE'S A TRUCK. I didn't buy a truck because I was a ninny that wanted to ride like I was in a family sedan, I bought a truck to be able to haul, make money, and have the ability to tow more than just a pup trailer. I don't notice braking issues on Gerald, either, even when bouncing over bumps... why not, you ask? Well, for one thing, I hardly ever use my brakes. For another thing, even if I were using them as much as everyone else, on my truck, the fronts do the majority of the braking anyway. I would lose little or nearly none of my braking power (unloaded) by losing traction in the rear of the truck while braking, unless I'm using engine-assisted braking, in which case the engine would stall.
